How many other industries, besides automotive and maybe the big aerospace firms, provide pensions and heath care to their retirees anymore?

Maybe people should start planning their own retirement savings, instead of blowing half their paycheck on boats and swimming pools like I see so many autoworkers doing.

Absolutely.. military is so underpaid it is sick.. part of the backwards nature of this country.. a useless non-contributing gang banger can catch a football give him millions.. a guy risks his life protecting our freedom - how's $20k a year sound? motherfucker please..

i did read in the paper today that the government agency that protects pensions is in big trouble - to the tune of billions.. just happened to see it on the front page..
